I don’t yet have a child in school (we are opting to homeschool our son for pre-k and possibly kindergarten) – but I know what it’s like rushing to get lunch ready the morning before work or the evening prior. The STRUGGLE.

I decided to compile a list of delicious vegan lunches to help you solve that time crunch problem! There are no “cook these lentils ahead of time so you can be ready for the week” type instructions. We don’t have time for that! These recipes can be prepped in 10 minutes or less – start to finish.

Super Quick and Easy Vegan Lunch Recipes You Can Make in 10 Minutes or Less

Turmeric Chickpea Salad Recipe – Karissa’s Vegan Kitchen (me!)

This is a plant-based alternative to a tuna salad or egg salad sandwich – and full of protein and flavor! Add your favorite sandwich toppings, back in your lunch box, and be on your way.

Buffalo Tahini Quinoa & Rice Wraps – Strength and Sunshine

The rice and quinoa in these wraps are made in just one minute in the microwave! Now THAT is a quick lunch recipe. These wraps are not only vegan, but also gluten-free for those who have celiac disease or are avoiding gluten.

5-Minute Easy Vegan Tacos – Happy Kitchen.Rocks

Tacos do not get much simpler than this! This recipe calls for grilled corn, but she also recommends canned corn if you’re in a pinch. I love getting the frozen roasted corn at Trader Joe’s for tacos. Either way, these tacos are quick and SO DELICIOUS.

Buffalo Chickpea Salad Sandwich – Karissa’s Vegan Kitchen

Hope you love spicy lunch! This is an oil-free vegan sandwich idea that you can whip up in just a few minutes. Top with whatever veggies you have on hand. Chickpea sandwiches are so filling!

Cannellini Bean Salad with Basil and Sun-Dried Tomatoes – Food, Pleasure, and Health

You can eat this salad in a wrap, on bread, on top of greens, or just by itself with a spoon. It’s filling, quick to make, and nutritious.

5-Minute Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup – Karissa’s Vegan Kitchen

If you’re craving a hot lunch but only have 5 minutes, this is the perfect recipe for you. If soup doesn’t fill you up, get this on the stove and prep one of the sandwich recipes in this post while it’s cooking. Pack the soup in a Thermos to keep it warm.
